MIR. Whitney's Rumored Purpose.

Mr.. Whitney's Rumored Purpose.
The Washington correspondents have
now concluded that MIR. Whitney, Secre-
tary OF the Navy, Is about to resign. 1t
is alleged that he is not satisfied with his
position in Washington, and is anxious
to be free to engage in various bust
ness enterprises III which he thinks
he sees great deal of money. Another
story is that he originally wanted to be
Secretary of the Treasury, where he
would have plenty of patronage with
which to make his friends happy. There
is not mlieh patronage attached to his
present Office.
The probabilities are that there is moth
ing In all OF this gossip. The place Mr..
Whitney has IS very responsible one,
and il he succeeds in building up a salts
factory navy he will enjoy great deal
more lame than If he were to manage the
Treasury Department successfully for a
couple OF years. AS for money there is
no reasonlwhy ne should be very anxious
to accumulate more OF it. He is already
very rich man, and the time cannot be
distant Wueu MS WIG Will ISC6lf6 large
fortune from her father.
Itmay be that Mr.. Whitney wants to be
Governor Of New York, and he may be
planning to secure the nomination OF his
party for that office. If be is looking in
that direction he may not only be able 10
advance his own political fortunes but
also help the President to second term.
If he is looking toward the New York
Goverrorship, however, he will hardly re.
sign yet awhile.

In 1888. he is said to be in great favor in
the Northwest, and the Democrats of that
section want recognition. Ii Postmaster
General Villas should prove TO be the man

Our Poorly Paid Dipiomatists.

The complaint continues to be made
that our representatives in The diplomatic
and consular service are so poorly paid
that they are not able to MAINTAIN the
social position TO which they are entitled
in the cities In which they are located
There is some foundation for the COM
plant. In comparison with the compen-
! satlon OF foreign representatives OF Otner
nations that OF the Ministers and Consuls
OF this country is very small IL Is PROP
able that some OF our Ministers and Con-
suls save little money, but they 90 so at
the expense OF their influence and by
sacrificing, to some extent, the interests
Of their government. A few OF our for
egn Ministers are rich men and they use
their private fortunes freely to
maintain themselves in such way
as TO command the respect OF the people
TO whom they are accredited. 1t ls not
| unusual TO see the statement in print
that our Minister to this or that country
spends double his salary, and that be has
| to do it to maintain his position. Only
few days ago it was asserted that our
Minister to Belgium spends twice as
much as he gets from the government,
and he is not considered to be an extray-
agsnt man by any means.
There are two things probably that in
! fuence Congress not TO increase the sal
aries of our Ministers and COnsuls. one
is the growing feeling that Ministers are
about useless, and the other is that not
withstanding the insufficiency Of the COM
pensation the offices are eagerly sought by
men OF standing and ability. Neither OF
the reasons is a good one, however. II
the Ministers are unnecessary what is the
use OF appointing them9 As long as Min
listers are appointed they ought
to be paid enough to enable them to live
in manner BETTING their position.
There is no doubt that country is, to
great extent, judged in foreign lands by
the appearance its represen-
tatlves make there. That being
the case there must be some countries
which have very poor opinion of this
country. Some of our Consu!s, for IN
stance. don't get more than enough out of
their Offices to buy bread. This condi-
ton OF affairs must necessarily have
Il uAudSIuk cuCCb upOu Wi
commerce. Secretary Bayard has baen
trying ever since he has had control OF
the State Department TO get Congress to
make better provision for our representa-
tives abroad, but without any apparent
success. He requested the last Congress
to raise the salaries OF our foreign repre-
sentatives all along the line, but his re-
quest was not needed. 1t is worthy Of
notice that some of the most valuable
officers in the consular service have lately
resigned because they couldn't afford to
waste their lives In earning an income
that hardly met their annual expenses.
OF course there are plenty who are ready
10 take all the places which may become
vacant, but new men are often not worth
even the small amount they receive. b.
In order to have the government prop
erly represented in foreign countries it is
necessary that its representatives shall
be paid salaries that will enable them to
m aintain themselves on footing with
the representatives of other governments.

In the coral caves Of the ocean. where
The mermaid dresses her golden hair
And chants the dirgc of the seamen brave
Whose bark has sunk meath the foaming

But the robes of the maidens mentioned pale
Into the nothingness beside
The lilac silk and the Brussels veil

Like an April day, in smiles and tears.
At the altar, and there with the BRIDE
groom stands
Till the kind ola pastor has joined their

The Secret of Longevity.
I'm the American Magazine.

FROM inc american MaRazlne-
A little way beyond the ancient
church at Holderness is a brick resi-
dence, whose front is half hidden by
one OF those monster elms that are
the pride OF our northern states, and
beneath its shade | saw an old nan
who is passing his ninety-fifth year,
sitting comfortably in a great arm
chair. My wife told me that his aunt
recently died, age one hundred and
five; and curious to know if there was
any especial reason forsuch longevity,
l made inquiries. "No," said my in
formant; "only they were almost al.
ways out-of-doors and lived q quiet
life,"
Yet in that single sentence lay a
greater philosophy than he dreamed
OF, a sounder precept than he knew.
TO keep out-of-doors and avoid worry
is a maxim that, if followed, would
close q majority OF our hospitals,
which, l regret to say, have a greater
number OF occupants with each sue
ceeding year.

Enough Of Romance.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Socia, circles in Reading are stirred
up over the clandestine marriage OF
Miss Margaret Davis, the daughter OF
one OF Readings wealthy citizens to
Adam Leas, one of her fathers labor,
ers. the capture and detention OF the
bride by tho irate father, and the
young husbands suit at law to re.
cover his wife. The adventures OF the
couple form a very romantic and sen
sational episode and are evidence
that q marriage license law is not an
insuperable obstacle to getting mar
ried If the parties are bound to put
or the matrimonial harness.
Leas set forth in his petition to
court that his wife was unlawfully de-
tanned by her father. He came into
court expecting to be triumphantly
awarded the custody OF his bride. In
this he was mistaken. The pretty
Quaker girl came into court crying,
accompanied by her father and moth
er.
Mr.. Davis presented to the court
his own affidavit that he had not re-
strained his daughter OF her liberty.
She was then questioned and answer
ed in a subdued tone OF voice.
"Do you wish to live with him? vas
asked.
mo, SIR" was her earnest reply, and
to no one did it produce a more start
ling effect than the man who became
her husband q week ago. He almost
sprane from his chair. Every II was
astonished, when all knew that only n
week ago this Quaker maiden. alter a
clandestine courtship. had eloped with
him TO New York and got married.
Judge Haeerman asked her:
do you desire to go with your hus-
bani?"
NO, sir" she replied, most emphat-
ically.
"Then you want to remain with
your tather?"
"Yes, sir"
"That will do" remarked Judge
Hagerman, and he dismissed the case.
Young Leas walked out OF the court
room depressed in spirits and almost
heartbroken. The girls father and
mother conducted her home, while she
sobbed and shed tears. Leas handed
her a small satchel, which they had
jointly used while on their wedding
trip, before she left the court room.
She took it without saying a word.
Why she changed her mind so sudden.
ly is a deep mystery.
